Don't buy a mobile battery off eBay as they are almost all cheap far-east counterfeit low quality poor copies of a Genuine Nokia battery. In many cases they even print the Nokia logo on the battery case and claim it's genuine - but never seem to include the hologram sticker!

eBay copies don't power the handset any longer than the original battery and in my experience they battery lasts about 6 month then stops holding a charge so becomes useless.

If you need a spare battery, better to invest in a genuine nokia replacement bought from a well known source. e.g CPW, Nokia Online Store, etc.

I'm currently using a far east cheap battery in my xda exec, it's twice the capacity and gives me 2 days longer life.

I wish I could find similar to replace the naff Nokia battery which lasts 1.5 days with minimal use of the phone, go 'genuine' for poor battery life it seems!

Has anyone also noticed how quickly the N95's stock battery recharges? Thats why i am slightly suspicious of it.

So an efficient charging circuit makes you suspicious?! 😮 Would you rather it took ages?
Are you also suspicious of aeroplanes and microwaves :tongue:
